Win or lose, the Royals have certainly put it all out there during this postseason run, and one family has an anthem for them.

The song, "Leave it on the Field" is about growing up with baseball and the life lessons learned from it. Joel Driskell performs the song with the help of his brother and sister.

It was written in 2007 by their father, Gary Driskell, shortly before his death. Gary Driskell was a pitcher.

"The summer after his senior year in high school, he played in Ban Johnson League and got a call to come up and play," Joel Driskell said.

He said his father ultimately decided to pursue a career in songwriting, but his love of baseball never waned.

The song was written for a contest before the 2007 World Series. It took second place, just behind one written by Jon Bon Jovi. With the Royals in the hunt this year, Joel Driskell and his siblings brought it out of mothballs and re-recorded it in less than two weeks.

Joel Driskell said the labor of love was done in honor of their father and the Royals.

"We want these guys to know that their city, their people, are rallied behind them and just to remember to leave it on the field," he said.
